With over 1 million monthly pageviews and over 350.000 users, I foresaw hosting and development operations, from sourcing our co-location providers to hiring the development team and supervising the SCRUM sprints as the SCRUM Master. In the early days of WriteWork, I was mainly concerted with Perl coding. When PHP and MySQL became available, I wrote code to convert a perl-based flat-file database into a MYSQL database, generating the database structure and normalization necessary as well as all SQL code that needed to be generated in order to implement the conversion. I also took care of separating the back-end code from the front-end code using XSLT.
